My brother in Dallas (K-State alum, Air National Guard) would like to see the KU game. Would you happen to have a ticket that won't be used, or I can buy at a reasonable price? Seating location not important. Thank you for your consideration and time in replying. You may text me at (785) 313-2714

A little update on Nygel Osborne, he told me he still doesn't have a timeline for a commitment. He has also not been able to be on the field since mid-September.

It appeared that both Knowles and Warner got injured in the 4th quarter. Any idea on the status?

Throw any thoughts or comments on the rest of the league here, figured this would be helpful as Baylor tips off the college basketball season in less than an hour against Mississippi Valley State on ESPN+

Women's game already in the books so we should be starting on time tonight, just after 8:00 PM on ESPN+. Student section is already filled in nicely.

Plain and simple this is a bad loss for cats. Now we have to win at Baylor to have a chance just to have a seat in the big 12 championship game. I hope our defense of staff gets us ready for the game next week, a loss and we might as well just take it. We deserve better.

we beat Texas with Will Howard at quarterback. He would have carved them up just like he did with OK State and TCU.

Martinez put up some decent numbers, but every time he drops back, I hold my breath. It takes him forever to get the ball out and many of his passes come after sitting in the pocket for multiple seconds and/or having to extend the play with his legs. It's the exact opposite with Howard. He makes his reads quickly and the ball is always out on time.

Defenses also do not respect Martinez's ability to throw. They take Deuce out of the game and dare Martinez to beat them with his arm. Things opened up for Deuce more when Howard was at quarterback.

Again, I don't think Martinez is a bad player. I just think Howard is better and what he showed against OK State and TCU is better than anything we have seen out of Martinez (including the OU game).

If anymore pop up I will get this thing updated

I hope with all our seniors we win out. Only chance now to get to the title game. They deserve it, hope we figure it out.

takes brass balls but I wonder about the brains behind such a move. Same with slow walking down the field with little time left. Who’s running this show? I wonder if winning is their actual focus or is it appeasing the transfer Martinez. Kleiman raves about Martinez performance in post game. Hmmmm. Reminded me of his NU performances, which resulted in outcomes similar to tonight’s.

benching Howard’may have cost us a shot at the big 12 championship. Another outcome could be losing Howard to the transfer portal I mean if I’m the kid I’d take this personal. I go out and nab big 12 player of the week and get splinters the next week WTF coaches?

We look at some top quarterbacks and who they compare to in college or the NFL:

3 Positives
1. Adrian Martinez came back and threw the ball well, outside of his one interception towards the end of the first half he threw the ball similarly to what we saw from Will Howard the last two weeks. It is clear to me the K-State receivers have upped their level of play over the last few weeks.

2. The Wildcats got back into the game of forcing turnovers. The two forced fumbles came at critical moments in the game to continue to keep the Cats within scratching defense. Now it will be time to pair that with not falling behind so quickly.

3. Ty Zentner came through as a kicker and punter again. It isn't the sexiest thing to throw on here, but I feel it is notable considering the way tonight's game played out is a reminder of what could have been against TCU. When everything started to tumble in the wrong direction for K-State, Chris Tennant's field goals to keep the game within a score wobbled short. For Zentner, including his late one to bring K-State within 7, showed a lot of composure to bang home that one into the wind.

3 Negatives
1. Game management was bad and head-scratching from the Wildcats tonight. Prior to the Martinez fumble that secured the game for Texas, I was shocked that Chris Klieman didn't use a timeout. Personally, I would have. They also had moments in that drive and the one that ended in a field goal on the previous drive where the sense of urgency didn't seem to be there. Another thing to mention is at the end of the first half with 13 seconds left, Malik Knowles had taken kicks back all night to no success. But with 13 seconds to play in the half, down three scores and a knee most likely coming, it was strange to not return that one. A small thing that probably didn't matter, but worth mentioning considering the other game management stuff. Chris Klieman also admitted after the game they could have used plays being called quicker.

2. The defense got shredded by Texas this evening. It certainly didn't help that the secondary was without Julius Brents, but the tackling was poor in the first half and the Longhorns ran wild. For as poor as things were in the first half, the Wildcats did bounce back in the second. But spotting a team as talented as Texas a three-score lead isn't going to cut it, especially with one of the league's best backs.

3. Penalties continue to be a negative theme in Chris Klieman's four years at K-State and tonight little calls like false starts and holds came at infuriating moments for K-State. Then throw in the fact that losing Julius Brents on the first drive to a questionable targeting call brings the officials into play. The refs also missed pass interference in the end zone on Phillip Brooks. It should be mentioned that the refs missed one on K-State as well though. It wasn't a banner night for penalties whether it was K-State, Texas or the refs throwing the flags.

I am sure there are more, but those are the first ones that come to my mind.

An honorable mention for negatives is Texas now being in the driver's seat to be team #2 in Arlington. They are tied with K-State and Baylor for second in the league, with their two losses to Tech and OSU, teams not in the picture right now. It will be important for K-State that the Longhorns fall in one of their final three games.
